Making digital sense in the classroom

The rise of IWB use is causing much debate about best practice for teaching in digitalised classrooms. The clamour to ‘go digital’ makes it seem that 20th Century resources are no longer relevant. This talk will explore the importance of an integrated approach to digital technology. The talk will show some of the attitudes that teachers have towards technology use in the classroom, addressing the naysayers along with showing some popular web 2.0 tools and explaining the reasoning behind the Headway Itools software.

These are the references and websites referred to in the talk:

Hi Shaun,

I expect a lot from this interesting talk. Your statement:"The clamour to ‘go digital’ makes it seem that 20th Century resources are no longer relevant" will certainly clarify quite a good number of issues on debate.

Cheers!
